Using Shot Location to Diagnose Positional Identity Crises [Hoopdata]
A Discussion of Identity and Where They're Launching [Hardwood Paroxysm]
Tom and Matt dig deep into the data and provide an interesting look at shot distribution (Rim, Short, Mid, Long, Threes) by position (PG, SG, SF, SF, PF, and C).

I can tell you without looking at the data that regardless of where Warrior opponents are taking their shots and regardless of position- they go in at a high rate.

From the few games we saw Channing Frye

I knew he was a 3 pt shooting center, but his shot distribution is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more towards 3 pt shooting that I thought. Nellie probably has fantasies of trading Biedrins or Turiaf for Frye.

I like that term… shooting center. Of course, it helps a whole lot when you have that Amar’e guy rolling to the basket drawing the D into the paint.

I still never got why we didn't try for him....

I realize he didn’t pan in portland but he’s 26 talented big w/ a shot (always saw him more as a PF). He did very well in NYK (well enough to be a backup big anyway). I realize he’s a bit soft, but he is an ideal fit for nellie’s system.

He makes what 2 mil? We offered mikki moore 1.3 mil???

he never showed he had this type of range before.

He worked on his shooting over the summer to go from a mid-range shooting big with no 3 point range to a 40% shooter from 3. You don’t normally hear about that.

thats true BUTTT

He did have a consistent 15-18 footer, which for a PF/C is range.

What a waste of sharpies

The big blue line show point guards shooting the same number of close shots as small forwards? Without explaining that they get them completely different ways?

Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up to heaven
At this crescent in the sky
